<p>I've heard that freshman year is mainly just hooking up and nothing serious. I'd actually prefer a serious relationship over a one-night-stand, and was wondering how common relationships are freshman year. And if there are, are they mainly 2nd semester and not 1st?</p>
<p>Depends on your school/friends/a lot of other things. </p>
<p>There will always be people who want serious relationships. There are always going to be people who just want hookups. Whatever you do, don’t go looking for a relationship. If you meet someone, great! But it seems like whenever people go looking for a relationship (rather than a person), they get into bad relationships.</p>

<p>I agree with this</p>
<p>It depends. Some people it is serious, some not…so just wait and see what happens, hard to tell at this point for you.</p>
<p>Yeah, it honestly depends. It’s not like as soon as second semester (or any other time) hits, massive amounts of people start coupling off. There will be people who are looking for something similar to you anywhere you go. </p>
<p>Personally, I thought about getting into a relationship at the beginning of my freshman year, but then decided against it because I wanted to have fun and not tie myself down. I’m happy with that, and I continue to be, so I’m still not looking for a relationship (I’ll be a junior). I think there are lots of people who feel the same way, as well as others who are looking to date seriously/find someone to marry/are happier in relationships, and they’ll do that. It’s varied, and there’s really no way to know what’s going to happen with you until you go.</p>
<p>It depends a lot upon where you go to school. There will always be people looking for relationships, but at some schools they’re honestly only the “different” people if you know what I mean. I think a relationship in college isn’t going to come around if you’re looking for it; people are looking for hookups. But if you find the right person and they’re just as infatuated as you are (awww) then of course. I guess I’m just reiterating, don’t go looking for a relationship. Most people aren’t.</p>
<p>Don’t go looking for one but don’t get an STD either.</p>
<p>A lot of my friends got together within the first month or two of school. Pretty much my entire group of friends was couples by the beginning of second semester. I ended up getting together with someone I knew who was going to the my school before the semester even started. It’s not that hard to find :)</p>
